Do you know what it means to be the
other woman. There
is a man up for grabs
Your contention he is not to be shared
He has a wife and a beautiful little girl
To you that is not important at all. You claim
you can provide for his emotional needs
A promise his wife has neglected to keep
That was what he
said
You are in no mood to double check
Was he telling you the truth? He said she
is causing hell. Her life revolves around
the little girl.He is beginning even to
dislike them both. How he craves for the
warmth that she had unfailingly given before.
But not any more you are his only hope
That was what he
said
He had to prepare his own breakfast
Lunch was not a problem though. You are
there as a convenient lunch date sharing
romantically every time a plate It is fun
having lunch these days he said. He would
love to have dinner just with you instead
For back home he can just expect some
Japanese noodles ready-made. How you
gritted your teeth. How can she does that to
my man you mused. You might even want
to destroy her for being so ruthless to your
man. He feels like taking his own life
That was what he said
You are currently unperturbed. He is
showering gifts galore to you. But it was
nothing compared you what you used to get
But not to worry. His wife is not getting any
more presents. You will be getting her share
besides yours more than you had dreamed
A slippery slope, believing every word even when action isn't taken, best to avoid indeed
ReplyDeleteWell, that's a really crappy relationship going south at a fast rate!
ReplyDeleteheart breaks.............. in galore
ReplyDelete"that was what he said" says it all. It is a clever way of showing a realistic picture.
ReplyDeleteAlways check
ReplyDeleteFor what the heck
He was lying
Now you can't stop crying
Clichés a plenty causing pain
Make it rain
Hi Hank!
Great tale Hank and I like the voice you used and the use of the present. very well done.
ReplyDeleteA relationship woe to avoid
ReplyDeleteI like the last line of each stanza, that was what he said ~ of course, the reality could be different as he wants you to be the other woman ~ Good one Hank ~
ReplyDeleteThis is certainly doomed, that guy sounds like an immature ass. Even though I don't condone what the female is doing I think many of us can be accused of some stupidity when it comes to love and relationships though.
ReplyDeleteExcellent job with this tho
It's so tough being the other woman.
ReplyDeleteThat is one doomed relationship. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteLove can blind anyone...
ReplyDeleteAnd this is one such classic example...
I dont know if what he said is true...
But, I just know that what he is doing is wrong...
And also what the other woman is doing!!
I know many other women and it rarely turns out well.
ReplyDeleteI like the tone you used...showing all sides to this with your pricesless last phrase at each stanza. Well done!!
